I enjoyed Sky and Gav's story so much! I honestly can't get over Gav & Sky's numerous thrilling adventures.

This was so much fun to read. Both of the characters' playfulness and inhibitions suited how young they were, especially since Gavin is the baby of the Bailey brothers.

I definitely loved the idea of Sky being a writer (though, I just personally love stories about writers in fiction), and how though she gets anxious a lot, she's not whiny. Gavin as a wild child-daredevil was super refreshing to read. His hobbies was amped up by the setting of Tillikum, with all the mountains and rivers -- it's truly one of the best small town setups I've read. The author really paints a vivid picture and makes you feel as if you're actually (physically) there.

Caroline and Norman were also super cute to read about. Obviously small town romances heavily focuses on family dynamics, but this particular book in the series really amplified that. I love the sadness of Gavin being the young when they lost their parents and how even a free-spirit like him can feel lost in more ways than one.

There's a hint of intrigue and mystery surrounding this entire series, and for a moment, it felt like I was reading a cozy mystery book. True to its word, one of the scenes really did feel like a Scooby-Doo moment, which I truly enjoyed.

Highly recommend! As much as I love Skylar and Gavin, but Unraveling Him (Evan's story) is still my favorite so far. I'm diving right next into the next book which features Logan, so that should be exciting too. Definitely feeling a lot of angst from that book.
